Wowhead Client Update Fail

Hi, I have been using the wowhead client for a couple weeks now and it has been working great. But now for some reason, it is not working.
When I open the client up, it says it is downloading the latest version and its gets to 100% (the text says 100% but the bar is filled up to more like 75%) and then it stalls for a couple seconds and then closes.
I am running Windows 7 Home 64-Bit.
Things I have tried:
1. Re-downloading the client from the website -- apparently the latest version is not on the website because it still tries to update.
2. Choosing the option "Run as Administrator"
3. Moving the program to a different folder (from My Documents to the Desktop) ... maybe writing permissions? I don't know.
Any help with this problem would be great. Thanks!

Maybe someone can send me a copy of their updated wowhead client?

Is there anyway I can get support for this problem or I'm just SOL?

We hear you! There are just a lot of issues to deal with here. I should be able to get back to this post this afternoon. :)

I have no idea what happened, but it is now working. Tried running it again when I got home and it downloaded and updated perfectly. =D
I was using the version that is available for download on the website (or the one that was available for download a couple days ago). Sorry I do not know the exact version... I hope this helps... but maybe someone fixed it already. Thanks for responding! I really appreciate it.

Bizarre. As long as it works...?

Ok, well, apparently there is a new update available and it is doing the same thing again =( I have no idea why it was able to update once. It gets to 100%, stalls for a second and then the program closes.
I am running Windows 7 Home 64-Bit. I have NIS 2011.
Things I have tried:
-Disabling my antivirus software.
-Restarting the computer
-Choosing "Run as Administrator" option on the wowhead client
I would offer you the version number of this client too but I cannot get into the program to access that. If there is another way I can get the version number, I'd be happy to provide it.
Thanks for any help.
*Edit* - When I mouseover the .exe it tells me the file version is 1.5.1.0... not sure if that is the right version number.

Trying to do just that... the program automatically updates when it launches. It says its downloading the update, gets to 100% (the text says 100% but the bar is like 50-75% filled up), it stalls for a couple seconds and then it closes.
